Joaquin Ciria has spent more than half his life behind bars for the murder of his friend in San Francisco, a crime he maintained he didn't commit.

Ciria was exonerated Monday, exactly 32 years to the date of his arrest, following an extensive review and investigation by the San Francisco District Attorney's Innocence Commission, San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin said in an online statement.

The 61-year-old was convicted of murder in 1991 for the shooting death of Felix Bastarrica.
